Quit smoking, save money

Smoking cost a lot of money. Cigarettes cost from $1.50 to $7.50 a pack. It depends where you live and what kind you smoke. A pack-a-day smoker can pay more than $1,000 a year.

Use our smoking calculator to see how much smoking costs. Multiply the number of packs you smoke in a year times the cost per pack.
